Re: Problem using user profile QTMHHTP1

Carl,

We do something very similar, and it gives us fits.  Are the jobs on 
system B running with user profile QTMHHTP1?  With us, they run as QUSER, 
job name QRWTSRVR.  But the QRWTSRVR helper job swaps the user profile 
under the covers to the user profile we used to connect from system A to 
system B (we use dtw_sql functions to call RPG and CL programs on system 
B).  So any way you would normally grab the spool file doesn't work, 
because the user profile isn't right.

We put a unique identifier into the User Data of the spool file, then we 
use a TAATOOL utility to retrieve the spool file based upon that unique 
identifier.  Works pretty well (as long as your unique identifier is 
unique).  Be sure it starts with a letter, User Data doesn't like starting 
with a number.

This gets complicated, so I will try to make it simple.

1.  I have a net.data web macro that runs on AS400 A.
2.  It creates a spool file on system B, using data on system B.
3.  The spool file is then converted to either RTF or PDF.
4.  The PDF process was from this list server and is called CPYSPLFPDF.
(written in java)
5.  The PDF process works perfectly if I log on as ME on system B and run
the COMMAND CPYSPLFEML
6.  The process ONLY seems to fail when it comes as a request from the
website and runs under profile QTMHHTP1.
7.  If I submit a job, running the command CPYSPLFEML on system B,
submitting as user QTMHHTP1, it fails.
8.  The failure message indicated that the java could not created a temp
file in QTEMP called SPOOL.
9.  The only thing I can narrow down is that it has to do with user 
profile
QTMHHTP1.
10.  I can submit the command to run in batch as my profilem and can 
submit
with a profile called HTTPDUP that is an EXACT duplicate of QTMHHTP1.

I am out of ideas. 
HELP.
